Trial Assembly

"Name a number, no less."

Satsuki really wanted to leave stubbornly, but when he heard the words "no less", he subconsciously stopped in his tracks, turned around, and coldly reported a number that he himself did not believe.

However, the other party only frowned slightly, and actually nodded in agreement

Damn!

Brother, I said it casually!

Satsuki had no idea who the other party was and where he had gotten the news from. He only wanted to make the other party retreat when faced with such a stranger.

But who would have thought that there would actually be a person who was not lacking in money.

This time, he was in a dilemma. On one hand, he wanted to earn this money and fill in the quota while on the other hand, he was worried that there was a problem.

However, Haru, who saw his hesitation, did not give this guy a chance to go back on his words. He directly asked with a cold face, "Are you playing with me?"

So what if I play with you!

Who the hell are you!

Just as Satsuki was about to say this, his entire person froze.

There was only a flash of cold light, and he didn't even see when the other party had made a move. He felt a chill on his head, and goosebumps rose!

Swish!

A strand of hair fell to the ground in front of his eyes.

It was only then that he realized what the other party had just done to him!

His anger almost clouded his mind and made him curse. But before that, he heard this bastard say, "The next one to be cut off will be your head."

Satsuki did not want to admit that he had been intimidated by the other.

The cool breeze on his head kept warning him that this guy in front of him was not someone easy to get along with. If he was really killed by this rash young man, then there was really no way to reason with him.

Therefore, the 'generous master' decided not to be ordinary with this guy.

What? Scared?

How is that possible!

How could the things between ninjas be called fear? Then let's respect each other!

Therefore, Satsuki was especially 'respectful' and spoke again, "The quota is yours."

Only then did Haru retract his blade in satisfaction and make a sound of agreement.

...

A few days later, the sword trial meeting for the seven participants was held in a secret location.

Those who were able to participate were basically all capable or had sufficient confidence in themselves, or they were either extremely talented and favored by Mizukage.

Of course, there were also some family descendants who came in through the back door and even spent a lot of money to enter.

Haru belonged to the last category.

At this time, he did not chat with anyone. He just quietly stood in the corner, waiting for Mizukage to appear.

At this time, Satsuki was chatting with Kogetsu Hozuki.

Apparently the harvest was full and Kogetsu Hozuki had a rare good look at the money sending boy.

On the other hand, Satsuki was still a little uneasy.

Under the offensive of hitting him with a stick and giving him a sweet date, he finally handed one of the spots to the other party.

Originally, he was going to fool him first and then retaliate later.

In the end, the other party did not say anything and directly smashed him with money!

At that time, when he said the number, not only did he not bargain, he also did not go back on his words after he pulled out his sword. He gave it very simply.

Satsuki's expression at that time could be said to be particularly wonderful.

However, after the matter, out of caution, he took the initiative to investigate according to the information provided by the other party.

Then he found out that this

However, the strength displayed by the other party had nothing to do with Genin!

Was he deliberately hiding his strength?

Or was there a problem with this person's identity?

It was inevitable that Satsuki thought a little more and did not want to cause this trouble.

But it wasn't until the deadline that another one of those losers made sure that if they didn't report this 'Mouri Kogoro', not only would they have to return the money, but they would also lower their value.

As for not returning the money, he definitely wouldn't dare, unless he found his life was too long.

So after weighing the pros and cons, he felt that he should be thinking too much. Who dared to make a fool of themselves in this kind of situation? Wasn't that courting death!

In this way, he gave the names of the other two people, as well as the name of 'Mouri Kagoro' to Kogetsu Hozuki, and then Kogetsu Hozuki successfully settled the quota.

Seeing this guy smiling so happily, he must have taken advantage of the opportunity to sell him out and eliminate the possible misunderstandings in advance.

"Satsuki, are those guys you recommended reliable? If they perform too poorly later, I will lose face. "

He already had all the benefits, but he still cared about his face. He was really shameless!

If not for his surname being Hozuki, he would have already turned hostile!

Satsuki thought to himself, but his expression was bitter as he said, "If you really have such amazing abilities, you wouldn't have asked me to buy a spot. However, it is uncertain. After all, strength and talent are one aspect. In the end, it still depends on the compatibility with the sword. If the compatibility is high enough and the power is great enough, there is still a certain chance."

Kogetsu Hozuki surprisingly did not refute him. Instead, he nodded and said, "Indeed. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist naturally focus on the sword. Maybe there is such a lucky person among the people you recommend. Don't forget my benefits when the time comes, haha."

"Definitely, definitely."

Insatiable greed!

Satsuki was disgusted in his heart, so how could he not hear that the other party had always been mocking him?

If not for the fear of the Hozuki Clan's reputation, he really wanted to let the other party know how much he was worth and that he was nothing after leaving the clan!

At this moment, Third Mizukage had finally arrived and directly sat down.

Along with him was also Genji, who had an extremely high status.

Genji, who was almost 60 years old, had witnessed the establishment of Kirigakure. He was an old level figure who had been promoted by Third Mizukage. Anyone who saw him would be very respectful. Even Mizukage was no exception.

In addition, the Third Mizukage, who was standing beside him had a baby-faced looking.

However, everyone who was familiar with him knew that the other party was only young, but in reality, he was already 20 years old. He had always been nurtured by Second Mizukage as his successor.

"Mizukage-sama, can we start now?"

Seeing that everyone was finally here, someone came over to ask Mizukage for instructions.

Then, he saw Mizukage lightly nod his head and say, "Let's start. Perhaps there will be another war soon. We don't have much time left."

After an inexplicable sigh, Mizukage fell silent.

In fact, he didn't really want to come today, but Genji urged him to come over and take a look.

After all, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were a sharp sword in the hands of Mizukage. Their strength could not be underestimated. Those who could control the swords were basically rebellious. If they couldn't convince them, there would be a disaster sooner or later. At that time, it would be light to defect.

It had to be said that Genji was very clear about the problem. In the original work, there were more than one or two ninjas who defected. Basically, except for the dead, all of them ran away!
